When I was a kid, (9 or 10) my mom bought me a overcoat that was at least two
sizes too-large, that I’d eventually grow into, so as to save money.
Well one Sunday I had the coat on coming back from going to church.
I was going up 3 steps to get into the house, and my foot got caught in the hem
of the coat and I tripped and fell into the glass storm door and my hand
Smashed through the glass pane. Needless to say I got a deep gash on my wrist.
Well my folks took me to our family doctor, he opened his office just for me.
Now for the “ stitches” part.
No novacane, or any pain killer, the doc used a “straight sowing needle”, not
stitches needle, and he sewed my gash, blood everywhere, the pain was excruciating, my dad held my arm still, and kept saying it will be over soon.
I got 4 stitches, each one felt like a burning poker branding my skin, it seemed like it took forever!
I still remember it so vividly!
